My 2016 Fuji Roubaix Ultegra, I know it's still stock but I am saving up for new set of wheels, weighs 18.9 as is with reflectors, lights, and computer. |

If flexibility is an issue - and I'm not saying it is or isn't for you, that's up to you - then size isn't the problem, geometry is. A larger sized I-assume-H2 Emonda would require an even shorter stem to fit you. Another frame with the same effective TT and a taller HT is what you should look for, hypothetically.
For a short time I had a 58cm Scott but sold it because I was too big. I'm an old man and feeling good is better than looking "pro" and uncomfortable. |

Everyone on BF has a top speed of 45mph, obviously.

Ah, my newness to the sport is showing. But knowing that Geox make street shoes - nothing to do with cycling - I figured they had to be a race team sponsor, and what came up when doing a search was a youth development team, not the pro team they used to sponsor.
What's the story with the 1x? |

Nice old and new mix.

The actual only new components are wheels and saddle. It does have new bar tape, chain, cables, etc. Complete rebuild. All the shiny bits have been polished. |

What size should I have?
I've had 2 professional fits, one when I purchased my Madone and the second when i purchased the Emonda. |

You have some serious saddle-to-bar drop already, but your seat height and stem positions are maxed out.

I didn't notice the short stem and @k_kibbler is right that a size larger might require an even shorter stem. If it's an H2 emonda there is not much you can do indeed.
I have long legs and a short torso. I'm happy with the fit. |
[MENTION=273237]oldnslow2[/MENTION] - how are you liking etap? Everyone that I've talked to seems to really enjoy it.

You are joking right. 53 ring is what usually gets worn out on my chainset. "53x11 No RagretsŪ"

Yeah, spinning out in the 50x11 in the flats is such a drag. 53 is much mo better.
If I am just tooting around at 16 mph then ya, no need for it. No need for carbon bike, or aero wheels either. |

In a sprint situation, I am going to want the 53. Sprinting in a race I frequently find myself is 53/12 53/11.

It's not ground breaking but a nice luxury feature. My previous bike has Rival 10 speed and going to Red 22 was a huge improvement. Going to eTap is nice but I could live without it if I couldn't afford it. |
